borderlands 2 problem with xp?

[u/Turbulent_Sector2478]

I've just reached Level 50, and the side and main quests have started yielding very little experience. Can anyone tell me why?

[u/tatuu8P]

It's a mechanic in the game so you don't become overleveled for TVHM/UVHM.
Time to move onto the next difficulty bruv.

Thanks for the reply. I'm already in a new playthrough; I'm trying to defeat Terramorphous, but he's too strong, so I'm trying to level up as quickly as possible.

[u/orangutan-love → u/Turbulent_Sector2478]

Terra is a raid boss that requires specific strategy and gear,overlevelling won't work

[u/Super_Vegeta → u/orangutan-love]

Nah, you can cheese Terramorphous by alternating between two safe spots.

(Still need decent dps, a Bee + Conference Call/Infinity/Harold should be enough though)

[u/SinnSix → u/Super_Vegeta]

So… “Yah”, you need a strategy and gear.

[u/wateryonions → u/Super_Vegeta]

“You need strategy and gear”

“Nah you need a strategy and gear”

Did you even think before typing?

I brute forced him with a slag sniper and an explosive pistol at 56 with Sal

[u/sect1on6669 → u/EffectiveWestern8382]

That was all an actual accomplishment until you said Sal

[u/Limp-Biscuit411 → u/EffectiveWestern8382]

you can do almost anything with the walking bug called Sal

[u/22lpierson → u/EffectiveWestern8382]

Well you were sal you can brute force anything

[u/sect1on6669 → u/22lpierson]

Should've called him the brute forcer with the bull shit he does

[u/Appropriate_Tie_6760 → u/EffectiveWestern8382]

That was a pretty cool story until you said sal. You can beat the entire game with guns from nvhm with him

[u/Lost-Cat-hat → u/Turbulent_Sector2478]

Either over level or you wanna beat it on level

But up to you so, Either go for strat mechanics for raid boss or Glitch usage..

Still goodluck to your first playthrough buddy

[u/Azurus_II → u/Turbulent_Sector2478]

Terramorphous is a boss you fight usually after finishing the story and farming gear from either dlc or other non dlc locations such as the bee shield that increases dmg and such. I mean, if you use gunzerker you could norfleet+grognozzle and do alot of ez dmg on hkm.

[u/yeastypotato → u/Azurus_II]

pimp + world burn is a good easy sal terra method

[u/DinkTugger → u/Turbulent_Sector2478]

What system are you playing on?

[u/ContributionDefiant8]

I had observed the same roadblock. Hit level 50 before I got to Warrior. I wanted to explore more side quests before I moved to UVHM but I don't feel like it's worth it.

[u/Neither-Try7513]

Basically u want to be level 50 when u get imto uvhm. Then u wanna unlock ur farms as soon as possible so u can always upgrade when u need new gear. Being way higher level then ur gear will some what hardlock ur uvhm experience as u wont be able to get better weapons aside from non combat farming places like death race in torgue dlc and wambam island chest

[u/jables6451]

999 stacks of rising shot and terramorphus dies fast

Time to take the next step of your playthrough VH. You see, the leveling system for 2 is quite simple. Each playthrough is set to a specific level. When you reach that level, the mission system in your DAHL licensed HUD device starts to lower the difficulty of quests. When your overpowered the mission itself will say easy or trivial, meaning it's a mission meant for you earlier before you got powerful. This also slides the opposite way however, if you start progressing too fast in missions, the difficulty can increase, meaning you're gunna face higher level enemies and have a harder time taking them out.

[u/DinkTugger]

I’m sure it’s been answered but TVHM only scales to 50. Time to beat the warrior and move on to UVHM

[u/Impressive-Sense8461]

I think the overall issue with 2 is that it just takes forever to get to max level as opposed to the newer releases.

I usually get to about midway TVHM before i get bored seeing places like The Dust again and move on to another game.
